OccupationPaulet had become captain of {{HMS|Carysfort|1836|6}} on 28 December 1841, serving on the Pacific Station under Rear-Admiral Richard Darton Thomas (1777–1857).[1] Richard Charlton, who had been the British Consul to the Kingdom of Hawaii since 1825 met Paulet off the coast of Mexico in late 1842. Charlton claimed that British subjects in the Hawaiian Islands were being denied their legal rights. In particular, Charlton had a claim to land that was under dispute.[2]Paulet requested permission from Admiral Thomas to investigate the allegations.[3] Paulet arrived at Honolulu and requested an audience with King Kamehameha III on 11 February 1843. He was told the King was on another island and would take six days to arrive. His next letter on 16 February, although keeping the polite tone of formal diplomatic correspondence, becomes a bit more demanding: "I have the honour to acquaint your Majesty of the arrival in this port of Her Britannic Majesty's ship under my command, and according to my instructions I am desired to demand a private interview with you, to which I shall proceed with a proper and competent interpreter."[4] The King replied that American Gerrit P. Judd, as chief government minister, could be trusted to handle any written communication. This seemed to infuriate Paulet who had been told by Charlton that Judd was acting as "dictator". Paulet refused to speak with Judd, and accused him of fabricating the previous response. Paulet then listed specific demands. Paulet warned Captain Long of an American ship, {{USS|Boston|1825|6}} on 17 February: "Sir, I have the honour to notify you that Her Britannic Majesty's Ship Carysfort, under my command, will be prepared to make an immediate attack upon this town, at 4 o'clock P.M. to-morrow, (Saturday) in the event of the demands now forwarded by me to the King of these Islands not being complied with by that time.Boston did not interfere.[5] On 18 February the Hawaiian government wrote back that they would comply with the demands under protest, and hoped that a diplomatic mission already in London could settle any conflicts. Between the 20th and 23rd daily meetings were held by Alexander Simpson, acting consul and Paulet with the King. Kamehameha III agreed to reopen the disputed cases but refused to overrule the courts and ignore due process. On 25 February the agreement was signed ceding the land subject to any diplomatic resolution. Paulet appointed himself and three others to a commission to be the new government, and insisted on direct control of all land transactions.[4] Paulet destroyed all Hawaiian flags he could find, and raised the British Union Flag for an occupation that would last six months. He cleared 156 residents off of the contested Charlton land. The dispute would take years to resolve.[6] James F. B. Marshall, an American merchant of Ladd and Company was invited aboard Boston where he secretly met chief Hawaiian Kingdom minister Judd. Judd gave Marshall an emergency commission as "envoy extraordinary" and sent him to plead the case for an independent Hawaii in London. Paulet closed down all shipping, but wanted to send Alexander Simpson back to England so that his side of the case could be heard first. Paulet rechristened the Hawaiian ship Hoikaika as Albert, and both Simpson and Marshall (telling Paulet he was only on a business mission) sailed to San Blas, Mexico. On 12 April they left overland and reached Veracruz by 1 May. Simpson continued to England, while Marshall went by ships and trains to Boston by 2 June. He spread the news in the American press, and met 4 June with fellow Bostonians such as U.S. Secretary of State Daniel Webster and business partner and future minister to Hawaii Henry A. Peirce. Webster gave him letters for Edward Everett who was the American minister to the United Kingdom.[7] On 30 June Marshall arrived in London and met with Everett. Two other envoys from Hawaii, William Richards and Timothy Ha{{okina}}alilo were in Paris, France negotiating treaties. They had already received verbal assurance that Hawaii's independence would be respected.[7] The {{USS|Constellation|1797|6}} arrived in Honolulu under Commodore Lawrence Kearny in early July. Acting American Agent William Hooper protested the takeover to Kearny.[8] American Commodore Thomas ap Catesby Jones arrived with the {{USS|United States|1797|6}} on 22 July, but first landed in Hilo on the island of Hawai{{okina}}i where he consulted with American missionary Titus Coan. By this time Admiral Thomas heard conflicting reports about the surprising developments in Hawaii. He had also heard how Jones had briefly occupied Monterey, California and some historians think he was trying to defuse the situation before it spiralled into a larger conflict.[9] On 26 July Admiral Thomas sailed into Honolulu harbor on his flagship {{HMS|Dublin|1812|6}} and requested an interview of the king. This time Kamehameha was more than happy to tell his side of the story. On 31 July, with the arrival of American warships, Thomas informed Kamehameha III the occupation was over; he reserved the right to protect British citizens, but respected the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Hawaii. The site of a ceremony raising the flag of Hawaii was made into a park in downtown Honolulu named Thomas Square in his honor.[10] The pathways are shaped in the form of the British flag. 31 July is celebrated as Lā Hoʻihoʻi Ea or Restoration Day holiday.[11] A phrase from the speech made by Kamehameha III became the motto of the Hawaiian Kingdom and state, and is included on the coat of arms and Seal of Hawaii: Ua Mau ke Ea o ka {{okina}}Āina i ka Pono, roughly translated from the Hawaiian language into English as "The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness."[10] Jones tried to hasten the peace process, by inviting the British officers to dinners, and celebrations including the restored king.[9] References1. ^{{cite web |title= Biography of George Paulet R.N. |url= http://www.pdavis.nl/ShowBiog.php?id=411 |accessdate= 21 February 2010 |deadurl= no |archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20110526145403/http://www.pdavis.nl/ShowBiog.php?id=411 |archivedate= 26 May 2011 |df= dmy-all }} 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://hawaii.gov/dags/archives/centennial/charleton-land-claim |title=The Charlton Land Claim |work=state archives centennial collection |publisher=state of Hawaii |accessdate=23 February 2010 |deadurl=no |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090109061724/http://hawaii.gov/dags/archives/centennial/charleton-land-claim |archivedate=9 January 2009 |df=dmy-all }} 3. ^{{cite news |hdl= 10524/266 |title= Richard Charlton: A Reassessment |work= Hawaiian Journal of History |publisher=Hawaii Historical Society |volume= 30 |author= Richard MacAllan |year= 1966 |pages= 53–76}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite book |title= British and foreign state papers, Volume 150, Part 1 |publisher= Great Britain Foreign Office |year= 1858 |chapter= Correspondence relating to the Provisional Cession of the Sandwich Islands to great Britain.—February 1843 |pages= 1023–1029 |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=1qADAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA1023 |deadurl= no |archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20170706060750/https://books.google.com/books?id=1qADAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA1023 |archivedate= 6 July 2017 |df= dmy-all }} 5. ^{{cite web |title= The U.S. Navy in Hawaii, 1826–1945: An Administrative History |publisher= United States Navy |year= 1945 |url= http://www.history.navy.mil/docs/wwii/pearl/hawaii.htm |accessdate= 18 February 2010 |deadurl= no |archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20100408164216/http://www.history.navy.mil/docs/wwii/pearl/hawaii.htm |archivedate= 8 April 2010 |df= dmy-all }} 6. ^{{cite news |hdl= 10524/430 |title= Along the Old Honolulu Waterfront |work= Hawaiian Journal of History |publisher=Hawaii Historical Society |volume= 32 |author= Richard A.
